It seems crazy to me that people with any kind of background or knowledge of satellites and aerospace would knowingly do this.



People with background and knowledge gave us "too big to fail" systems that are overpriced by 10x.

My point is that the line between disruptive innovation and reckless crackpottery isn't always clear, and the solution to one reckless startup isn't to give up on innovation.


Trying to make it in the space industry of all places with the government as an adversary is suicidal. In many commercial space ventures, the government (through its many arms) is often one of your largest customers.


Ah. I didn't see anyone recommend giving up on innovation.
